Steve Austin is in his locker room sitting on a comfortable couch. He is holding a beer in his hand and is looking right at the camera. He smiles and takes a sip from his beer.
Austin: You all know who I am... You all know what I'm capable of doing... You all know that I am one tough S.O.B. and that is for damn certain!
He takes another sip from his beer.
Austin: You also know that I'm going to participate in a World title match... My first World title match in a long time and I have not one, not two, not three but seven opponents... Some of them my friends other former friends and now enemies...
Stone Cold takes a deep breath.
Austin: It's been a while since I had a shot at a World title and it's been a while since I participated in such a match... Lets not lie to ourselves... I'm past my prime... This past week I've been called "washed up", "too old"... Hell I've been told that I no longer have any class...
Stone Cold shook his head and took another sip from his beer.
Austin: This is true... But I was always proud that I never had any class... That's right Joey Malone I never had any class and I'm damn proud of that. I never left anyone change me and was always Stone Cold... I was always myself and when someone wanted me to change I always gave him a proper response... This one!
Steve Austin shows middle finger to the camera.
Austin: I might be old. I might be older than any other wrestler on the DUEW roster. I might be the oldest wrestler alive but none of these will change anything. Every night I go on the ring giving 100% of myself to the fans and it doesn't matter how much pain I am in... I keep going because of them, because of their support and that's exactly what I'll do at the next Sunburn. I'll go out there and wrestle till I no longer have any intact bones in my body and even after that. I'll let the support of my fans lead me to the victory because that's the only chance for me to win this match.
Austin took a deep breath.
Austin: Every morning I wake up with a tremendous amount of pain... My back, my knees, my ankles... My ribs and my neck... My friends... They have all betrayed me... There are however three things in my life that haven't btrayed me yet...
Austin took another deep breath.
Austin: There is Lemmy who had always been a great friend... He is an incredible guy and I will never be able to repay him for what he did for me... Thank you Lemm!
Stone Cold placed his beer on the floor and looked back at the camera.
Austin: Then there are the fans... It doesn't matter if I lose or win... It does't matter if I'm wrestling or traveling through the airports... It doesn't matter if I am healty or lying in a hospital bed with a broken body not sure if I'll be ever able to make it back to the ring... They have always been there and they have always supported me... From the bottom of my heart "Thank you"!
Austin placed his right hand on his chest saying the last words. Then he took another deep breath.
Austin: And there is this last thing... My will... It never betrayed me... When I was having a hard time in my life... When I have to wake up every morning and my body refuse to move... When I wrestle and when I lie in a hospital... Wherever I am and whenever it is my will is there to help me.
Austin lifted three fingers in the air.
Austin: Thanks to this three things I'll win the title this Sunburn. Even if I've been told to retire and that I'm not capable to wrestle anymore numerous times... The people who are telling me these things can't understand me...
Austin paused to sum up his thoughts...
Austin: Every morning I wake up with the though that I've wasted my chance for hapiness. I've been divorced three times... I can no longer see my little girls... My friends have betrayed me... The wrestling industry has ruined my life and there is no way back. What I gave to the industry had th price of me losing everything... Now all I have is my will, my friend Lemm because all the others betrayed me, my fans... All I have now is the wrestling... The same thing that ruined my life is the only thing that is left for me now...
Austin had tears in his eyes.
Austin: I must win this belt... Not because I deserve it more than any of the other guys but because it's all I have... Right now... WRESTLING IS MY LIFE!!!
Austin: You all know who I am... You all know what I'm capable of doing... You all know that I am one tough S.O.B. and that is for damn certain!
He takes another sip from his beer.
